About this listen

Read by Samuel West, known for his roles in Van Helsing and Notting Hill.

Last Bus to Woodstock is the novel that began Colin Dexter's phenomenally successful Inspector Morse series.

'Do you think I'm wasting your time, Lewis?'
Lewis was nobody's fool and was a man of some honesty and integrity.
'Yes, sir.'
An engaging smile crept across Morse's mouth. He thought they could get on well together . . .

The death of Sylvia Kaye figured dramatically in Thursday afternoon's edition of the Oxford Mail. By Friday evening Inspector Morse had informed the nation that the police were looking for a dangerous man – facing charges of wilful murder, sexual assault and rape.

But as the obvious leads fade into twilight and darkness, Morse becomes more and more convinced that passion holds the key . . .

Last Bus to Woodstock is followed by the second Inspector Morse book, Last Seen Wearing.

First foray into Colin Dexter's first Inspector Morse series of novels. Never seen the TV series, therefore refreshing to listen to this "unadulterated", even better with Samuel West's narration, perfect choice.

Many reviewers are far more articulate, but some comments say it is either dated, political incorrect, or sexist. It is a novel of the 70's and in keeping with our English heritage. Go read another book if you want it changed to suit today's readers.

SURPRISING ENJOYABLE

Brilliantly written and brilliantly read by Samuel West. Although I'm only familiar with the TV series, West gets across the characters well, and I realise how well John Thaw took on the character and acted the role.

Brilliantly written and brilliantly read.

Enjoyable and tense. Excellent dialoges and narration. Most characters and scenes very well described. Unfortunately the character of perpetrator as portrayed wasn't at all convincing.

Diappointing ending.

Just what I was expecting from the first in the series - "kept my attention and introduced us to Morse and his rather sad vulnerability where women are concerned.

Very enjoyable -
